The main gist of the non-binded referendum is the signatures of 10% of the elegible voters based on those registered for the previous election. I don't know the exact # but I believe about 100 would do it. It has to be related to something the TC can take action on. And it has to get approved to be put on at least 60 days before the election it will be attached to.
However, Win Cody suggested in his remarks that some other towns have organized less official main ballots. I would think even a private organization could do this without any regulations or resstrictions because it is unofficial, and therefore could be done much more quickly. It would have none of the assurances that it there was no fruad, etc., but does that really matter? If you have only 1,000 voters and some private party manages to get our mailing list (or a close approximate of it) and gets 600 signatures back identified with individual addresses, since it is non-binding that would still be a pretty powerful message. |
